By entering into the “Australian Agency Influencer Competition 2017” (“Competition”), you agree to these terms and conditions (“Terms”) with LinkedIn Singapore Pte Ltd (“Sponsor” or “LinkedIn”).

1. Competition Period. The Competition commences on Wednesday 14 June 2017 at 09:00 AEST and closes on Friday 17 November 2017 at 17:00 AEST (“Competition Period”).  Sponsor’s computer is the official time-keeping device for the Competition.  All entries must be received during the Competition Period.  This is a contest of skill.

2. Eligibility Requirements.

a. Entry into the Competition is open to any full-time employee of any media agency, creative agency, or marketing agency incorporated in Australia (employees of a sole trader are not eligible) (each, a “Qualified Agency”) who is: (i) 18 or more years of age, (ii) a resident of Australia, and (iii) employed by a Qualified Agency for the duration of the Competition Period.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, employees and the immediate family members of Sponsor and Focal Attractions Pty Ltd, and their associated agencies and companies, or any organisation or individual associated with the provision of the Prize (described below), are ineligible to enter.

b. The Competition is subdivided into two categories: (i) “Agency Influencer”, and (ii) “New Comer Agency Influencer” (each, a “Competition Category”). In addition to the eligibility requirements set forth in section 2(a) above, to be eligible for the New Comer Agency Influencer category, the entrant must not have worked in one or more of the media, creative, or marketing industries for more than a combined total of five years.  Entrants are only eligible to compete in one Competition Category.  If an entrant enters both Competition Categories, LinkedIn may, in its sole discretion, disqualify the entrant from one or both categories. In the event of a discrepancy, the total number of years an entrant has worked in a media, creative, or marketing industry will be determined by LinkedIn in its sole discretion.

3. How to Enter. To enter into the Competition, each eligible entrant (“Entrant”) must satisfy the following requirements:

a. Register at  Microsite by June 13 2017;

b. Publish at least one post on LinkedIn’s website (www.linkedin.com); and

c. Engage with content and members on LinkedIn’s website.  Each Entrant’s level of engagement will be determined by LinkedIn based on a weighted scoring made up from such Entrant’s total number of profile views, new connections, endorsements, post frequency, post page views, post engagements, share frequency, and share engagements (collectively, “Engagement Score”) over the duration of a given month during the Competition Period.  Engagement Scores will be determined by LinkedIn based solely on LinkedIn’s records.

4. Leader Board. Each month during the Competition Period, LinkedIn will list on a website hosted by Focal Attractions Pty Ltd, a.k.a. Mumbrella, (“Mumbrella Site”) the leader boards (each, a “Leader Board”) for each Competition Category and the top ten Entrants with the highest Engagement Score in such month.

5. Winner Selection. At or near the end of the Competition Period, LinkedIn will select one Competition winner for each Competition Category  (each, a “Winner”) based on each Entrant’s Engagement Score over the course of the Competition Period. Each Winner will be notified by phone and/or email and his or her details will be published by Sponsor on the Microsite and/or Mumbrella Site after the expiration of the Competition Period.  All reasonable attempts will be made to contact each Winner.  If a Prize remains unclaimed by a Winner, or is forfeited for any reason, by Wednesday 22 November 2017 at 10:00 AEDT, the Prize will be reallocated to the next valid Entrant, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion.  This Prize reallocation will take place at LinkedIn, 1 Martin Place, Sydney NSW 2000 on Thursday 23 November 2017 at 11:00 AEDT and the newly determined Winners after the Prize reallocation will be notified by phone and or email and their details will also be published on the Microsite from Thursday 23November 2017.

6. Prize. Entrants are eligible to win the following prize package (“Prize”). One Prize winner will be selected for each Competition Category.

The travel components of the Prize are subject to availability and blackout periods and seasonal embargos may apply. The Sponsor has the right to determine the airline carrier at its discretion.  In the event a Winner requests a specific carrier, not offered by the Sponsor, any subsequent or additional fees and taxes, if applicable, will be the responsibility of such Winner. Flight itinerary may be adjusted depending on the airlines departure city and current flight schedules. Frequent flyer points are not available from any airline. The Sponsor is not responsible for the cancellation, delay or rescheduling of any part of a travel Prize and any costs incurred by a Winner as a result (including accommodation costs) will be the responsibility of such Winner.  Each Winner is responsible for all other expenses including spending money, meals (unless specified), drinks, transfers (unless specified), laundry charges, activities (unless specified), incidentals, vaccinations (if applicable), taxes (excluding departure and any other flight associated taxes included within the Prize), energy surcharges, gratuities, services charges and all other ancillary costs.  All taxes (including without limitation national and local taxes) in connection with any Prize component and the reporting consequence thereof, are the sole responsibility of each Winner. Travel insurance will be supplied to each Winner before departure. Travel insurance is subject to restrictions and the terms and conditions of the insurance provider.  It is the responsibility of each Winner to meet any additional costs relating to obtaining insurance cover for any pre-existing medical conditions and/or for any additional costs as may be specified.
